How it works

PATTERN DETAILS

I made this neck warmer primarily to have a neck warmer that is light weight, and warm. I achieved my goal using the Cascade Alpaca Eco Duo that is light as feather, yet warm as it is expected from Alpaca wool. The other aspect of the design was to make sure it cuddles the neck, and has texture. I added more texture by adding 4 buttonholes. It does not end there. The design still includes an adjustable I-Cord. This pattern is a must have in your library for many reasons. First, it is a fast knit project that uses straight needles in order to make it possible for all knitters with different knitting skills. Second it is a one skein project, and perfect for last minute handmade gifts. Third, it is a designer neck warmer that adds elegance to your wardrobe like you will not find anywhere else.

**Where Youll Find Me Today!
Today, you can find me working on at least four projects at a time, designing my own patterns and teaching knitting classes. I enjoy designing a variety of items; whether it is a scarf, a shawl, a wine tote, or an afghan, nothing is beyond my imagination! I only design and create beautiful, functional and unique hand knit items.
**How I Began?
I have been a dedicated knitter for the past 10 years. I was first introduced to this art through a co-worker and friend when I attended my first lunchtime knitting club. I fell in love immediately! I began visiting all my local yarn shops, talking to knitting friends and learning to read patterns. My little hobby quickly turned into one of my greatest passions.
**My Knitting Goals!
As a full-time special education teacher with three grown daughters, my goal is to continue growing my knitting art into my side business. I am exciting to share my carefully crafted and delicately designed hand knit items and patterns with you!
